Pujols has been battling plantar fasciitis in his foot for most of the season. He's made 65 of his 99 starts at designated hitter for the Angels and has not looked comfortable moving around.

"He's sore," Scioscia said. "We'll see what's going on."

According to MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez, Pujols said Friday night the foot had not had any improvement though his numbers had improved since the All-Star break.

“It’s been the same,” Pujols said in Spanish. “I still feel some pain. I still feel it bothering me a bit. That’s something that in the offseason, with time and with rest, hopefully the pain can go away.”

Since the break, Pujols is 11-for-29 with two home runs and seven RBI in eight games.

The Angels are 11 games behind the Oakland Athletics in the AL West entering play Saturday. The 33-year old Pujols is owed $218 million over the next eight years.
